Chaminade University freshman Emma Morris (Tanque Verde) was named Pacific Health Silversword Female Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 8-14.
According to a release, Morris scored 37 points and had seven rebounds in her three games against the nationally-ranked Sharks of Hawai’i Pacific University. The freshman sank 10 triples and either led or co-led the ‘Swords in the scoring ledger in each game against HPU. Morris is one of the top 3-point shooters in the conference, ranking second in both percentage (37.8) and 3s per game (2.8).
Hawai’i at Hilo standout Bree Olson was named Vulcan Athlete of the Week on Feb. 3.
Olson totaled 16 points and 20 rebounds as the Vulcans swept Chaminade on Oahu. Olson collected a career-high 12 rebounds in one game to go with 10 points for her first double-double in a Vulcan uniform. Olson, a transfer from Pima CC sat out last season with a knee injury.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
